Compensation to a store owner for blocking access to his store

Question:

If Reuvain has a store and Shimon blocks access to the store during normal business hours preventing customers from coming to the store does Shimon owe Reuvain compensation?

Thanks

Answer:

Hello,

It seems that you are asking a general question. In general blocking someones asccess would be a grama, and is patur in a halachic court however he will be held accountalbe for it in heaven. Therefore, going to bais din might not help, but Shimon should give some compensation to Reuvain for it.

Best wishes
